Only in Battlefield can players go through a building instead of around it, eject from a jet and take out the enemy mid-free fall, or flip a tank. DICE, a studio of Electronic Arts, announced that Battlefield 4 will arrive on the Xbox 360 on October 29, 2013.

I found this to be quite odd that an official Xbox blog would just happen to spill BF4's release date, but it seems believable enough. Of course it could be speculation on the part of the writer, but considering BF3 released Oct. 25th I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be the actual release date.

Thoughts? Has this been discussed? I did a search and couldn't find anything on it.

There have been a lot of EA/BF/Microsoft rumors swirling around recently, so who really knows. It'll be interesting as hell to see how everybody manages to launch their respective games/platforms this fall.

People have to remember that they could launch BF4 whenever they wanted, that is, before the NG consoles are released. The NG version would release whenever the consoles do.

They don't have to wait until NG comes out to release the game on PC/PS360.

And one last thing before I'm done - I find it convenient that Xbox.com just happened to be the one not only running a story, but possibly having information on BF4's release date, something other media outlets didn't get. And for good measure...

People assumed this of the Wii U launch as well, the games will come out on current platforms first, and on next gen consoles on their respective release dates

Exactly. Same with Black Ops II, Assassin's Creed III...Skylanders..and so on. Basically, they will release the game on whatever is out there that date and then be a launch title to whatever comes after that date.

I really can't wait for E3. I remember during E3 2006, being on GameTrailers & downloading all the new videos for the night, and then just sitting back and watching hours and hours on end of game demos and trailers. There was just so much cool stuff to see that year. I'm hoping we have something similar this year with all the next-gen stuff happening.

its sort of something i expect ms to do announce Durango at E3 and release in september/ocotber. probs why they arent talking bout it now. wanna keep strong hype. and that will be the talking point of E3 and over shadow sony going heres what ps4 looks like and its coming december..

Microsoft did say earlier this year to sony its not the noise you make its the impact.
